Happy Easter everyone.
I just had an epic meal thanks to my brazilian in-laws who like to cook.
I still don't quite understand the whole story of Jesus and what he supposedly did by dying and being resurrected etc... I've heard the story a thousand times but other than 'save us from our sins' it still remains unclear exactly how.
But I guess that's the religious faith?
In any case, Easter was my Mom's favourite Christian holiday, she always said it was a happy day of hope and joy, a new beginning out of darker times.
Plus we have my wife's family recipe for Brazilian pave which is the greatest dessert ever
Happy Easter!
Met a guy on the trail yesterday, he gave high praise for the Sermon on the Mount.
I hadn't read it in years, but yeah it's pretty good:

Happy Easter! FYI Jesus was really a Buddhist!

Yes I have heard some really interesting comparisons between Jesus' parables and Buddhist parables, that Jesus was essentially teaching a mirrored core idea
I have even heard it argued that he may have actually spent time in India with the gurus during that missing 33 years or whatever it was between the birth story and when he starts his ministry
The guy on the trail probably wouldn't have liked that, lol

There were Jewish trading stations all along the Silk Route from the ME through Persia and into China and India. For centuries the great religions of the world engaged with one another with places like the Kingdom of Sogdiana having many Christians, Zoroastrians, Manicheans and Buddhists all living peacefully with one another. Many of the Turko-Mongol tribes in Genghis Khans' tribal confederacy reflected this mixture and Genghis in fact dispatched a Nestorian Christian monk from Beijing as his emissary to the Vatican and European capitals to talk about an alliance against the menace of Islam which Genghis despised. Sadly it was rebuffed in Europe and Central Asia and Anatolia were Islamized by the terrible Tamerlane and the whole era of interfaith tolerance and mixing ended then and there.
But yeah, Jesus would have been exposed to Buddhist teachings had he traveled at all. And Hindu teachings as well. The Syriac Christians of India are incredibly ancient and may have developed out of trading colonies of Essene Jews in Kerala. This likely happened among the Babylonian Captivity in Iraq as well, making India and Iraq candidates for having the oldest Christian communities alongside Israel and Syria.
